Water rules everything around me

We woke up to a downpour and though it's only drizzling now, the horizon from the beach does not look promising and we may be rained out for the day. Amanda, however, still headed out to meet her grandmother, Bee, for a birding boat tour before they head back to the mainland.

Yesterday, we managed to show them a few good birds while banding and then headed across the canal in the afternoon for some birding the tiny town of San Francisco.
